Rave Reviews

Thank you to all of your RHG team who helped us during the process of building our new home Ivey Ridge at Mill Creek. From the beginning, meeting your agent, going to your design center to make our selections, meeting with the superintendent when we had questions, and finishing up with an on time closing with no surprises. It was a pleasure! - William D. Family
